8 sided Christmas tin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Came across this in the Dollar Store and thought it would make an interesting camera. I am going to put a pinhole in each of the sides and a circular core in the center to hold a 3.5 x 6 inch strip of photo paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Holes drilled in each side of the tin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hole drilled in the bottom for the tripod mount and to attach the central core.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Central core made from a piece cut from a plastic caulking tube.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A piece of wood cut to fit inside the tube. It has a 5\/16 in hole drilled to accept the T nut.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The T nut is driven through the bottom of the can and into the hole in the center core. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Painting the interior of the camera black. I used two coats of flat acrylic paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making the pinholes out of a beer can. I calculated the focal length to be 35mm and a .26mm pinhole was required. The camera will be f135.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
